Vnr also works usually but i leave it as a last resort since i hate how bloated and slow it is.

You're right, it depends on the libraries, or to be more exact, the libraries which are in each windows version. It happens more to notebooks than desktop pc for example, because the fabricant add a layer of customizations which in itself is good to "customize" the pc but can be and often is not compatible with pc many games and software, not just visual novels.
Fortunately though what is happening now is that many developer are making tools and visual novels Windows 8.1/10 compatible, which is good. But for me, to simply avoid bugs, i suggest to run the visual novel in compability mode and in most cases everything will be fine.

And you'ree absolutely right with ITHVnR it's a horror, i don't like it, it distract me from enjoying each visual novel that i play. That's why i'm learning japanese, to be less dependant on tools.

Re: ITH and Translation Aggregator Guide

Don't confuse ithvnr (ith with a different engine) with vnr (bloated mess)
But yes, in any case these are temporary solutions, the best way to enjoy VNs would be learning japanese or get a propee translation but ith is very useful if you use it to have your text ready tonbe pasted into a dictionary when yiu find a word you don't know

Re: ITH and Translation Aggregator Guide

Okay noted, iTHVNR is different from VNR (Visual novel reader) which is another text hooker, i just googled it.
Unfortunately most visual novels i want to read are not translated and never will or not in the foreseeable future. I need less and less a dictionary because i read a lot of light novels in addition of visual novels.
Your advise on extracting text from visual novel was great, it helps me a lot to progress in japanese.
What i did was extract the text and some CG for references from 監獄戦艦2, formatted it, converted it to kindle format, read and analyze it on my kindle, which was very effective.
